This morning I finished (thank g_d) “Rose of No Man’s Land” by Michelle Tea. After 306 pages I was worn out, sadly not in a satisfied way. My first thought when I started reading was “damn these…[Read more]

Through 335 pages, she basically comes to realization and understanding in her life and faces the fact that she can’t control and change everything she’d like to in the world. Despite the sometimes scary accounts of breast cancer, aids, shootings, etc, the…[Read more]

The narration flops unexpectedly between past and present tense and there are edi…[Read more]

It was awkward to read at first because the narrator is so formal in his speech. Because it is first person,…[Read more]

What I liked most about it was the fact that there were no robots, no flying cars, no space highways. It was a hauntingly real and visible image of what lows the world could potentially reach in less than 100 years. Some of the…[Read more]
